The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has made a donation of N300 million ito the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO.

In an address at the meeting with Lagos wives, Wike said the involvement of women in politics and decision-making in Lagos State is what is making it continue to set the pace in the country.
He said he was amazed at all that COWLSO is doing in Lagos State and promised to replicate all that he had learnt from the conference in his State.
The PDP Governor of Rivers State also used the occasion to declare total support for the re-election bid of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the 2023 general elections.
